    What kind of shitty brand are people buying that have this issue?

    None of what he’s complaining about has ever happened to me. And the few things that are real, are options that you can disable in two seconds.

    It reminds me of when someone posted an article about how Sony has an “ad bar” at the bottom of the screen…

    To get the screenshot the author had pressed the input button so that all the installed apps showed up on the bottom, and they acted like it was always there and couldn’t be removed

      My Samsung TV started showing ads in the app/source select menu. No way to disable it. I had to pi-hole my network to get rid of that crap. It wouldn’t surprise me if many of the commenters here saying that they never have a problem have a pi-hole or similar network blocking installed.

        I blacklisted the samsung ad domains on my router and that did the trick.

          Coming soon: TVs use their own DNS over HTTPS, you can’t block the domains and they refuse to work if the DNS is blocked
